In fresh specimens, like this one, the three dark fasciae are scarcely visible, while the white dots are more distinct. C. stellata, Moore, a larger, redder insect, with the costal white dots still more pronounced, is probably only a local, insular form. 108. MAGULABA MO.STALIS. Magulaba mcestalis, Wlk. Cat. Lep. Het.

One female only, from Dumtanar, October 11, 1886. The single specimen sent is much rubbed towards the base of the fore wings ; but it evidently belongs to the group containing H. abdu-calis, Wlk., from the Punjaub, H. curviferalis, Wlk., from Java, and H. columbaris, Butler, from Japan, which all have a single long curved streak running from the apex to near the base of the inner margin. It most closely resembles H. abducalis ; but the fore wing is narrower and longer, with a trace of a row of dark submarginal spots. Expanse of wings 34 millim. 111. HORMISA CRAMBOIDES. (NO. 112.)
